HARVEY KURTZMAN'S TRUMPHighly Recommended. By Harvey Kurtzman, Wally Wood, Will Elder, Al Jaffee, Jack Davis et al. Trump was a lavish color satire magazine Harvey Kurtzman created for Hugh Hefner after leaving MAD in 1956. With a star-studded cast (Mel Brooks, Will Elder, Jack Davis, Wally Wood, Al Jaffee) and Playboy's money and clout, Trump should have been huge. But for complex financial reasons, Hefner pulled the plug while the third issue was in production. Never before collected, issues #1 and #2 and never-before-seen art, including the surviving contents of ithe third issue! Kitchen Sink, 2016. ....More.

EC ARCHIVES CRIME SUSPENSTORIES Volume 2Collects #7-12, 1951-52. Highly Recommended. By Al Feldstein and Johnny Craig. Art by Jack Davis, Johnny Craig, Jack Kamen et al. Classic chronicles of criminals and capers! Collecting issues from the immortal artistic talents of Al Feldstein, Johnny Craig, Jack Kamen, Jack Davis, and George Roussos. Plus every issue has a horror tale from The Haunt of Fear, narrated by the Old Witch and drawn by Graham Ingles, just like in EC's three horror titles. In fact, these stories were as horror-laden and shocking any of EC work--they just wanted to cash in on the "crime" so popular in comics. Handsomely recolored, giving these a fresh and up to date look and polish. Dark Horse, 2016. ....More.

Comic Strip Collections

FLASH GORDON DAN BARRY DAILIES Volume 2 The Lost Continent12 complete episodes from 1953-1956. Highly Recommended. By Dan Barry. Not your father's Flash Gordon! In 1951, Flash was rebooted. Formerly taking place in real time, and on Mongo, this reboot set Flash, Dale and Zarkov (and no other former characters) in the world ten years in the future and in our own solar system. The title story takes place on earth, but eleven more episodes here take the adventurers to Mars, Ganymede, and finally to Mongo. SUPERLATIVE artwork is the highlight here--Barry is every bit as good as Murphy Anderson and you'll find it here. Titan, 2016.....More.

ALSO AVAILABLEFLASH GORDON DAN BARRY DAILIES Volume 1 The City of IceDailies Nov. 1951-Oct. 1953. Our Highest Recommendation. By Dan Barry, Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Davis and Frank Frazetta. The first volume of Dan Barry's stunning work from the peak of his career, aided by three EC veterans! They took the strip that had been so magnificent under Alex Raymond and made it their own, with storytelling that may have outpaced Raymond's own. Flash and the lovely Dale Arden encounter escaped convicts, frightening Frost Men, tyrannous kingdoms - and more! Three years of Dan Barry's run. Titan, 2016. ....More.

MANDRAKE THE MAGICIAN DAILIES Volume 1 The Cobra1934-36. Highly Recommended. By Lee Falk. Art by Phil Davis.

Join Mandrake The Magician and his ever-faithful companion and trusty side-kick, Lothar, as they set out in search of high adventure in strange lands, strange dimensions and even stranger planets with nothing more than a top hat, a wand and the immense strength of Lothar, African Prince, to save the day! And the ability to create illusions (and magic?) to confuse the enemy!
Titan, 2016. ....More.

ALSO AVAILABLEMANDRAKE THE MAGICIAN SUNDAYS Volume 1 1935 -1937The Hidden Kingdom of Murderers Highly Recommended. By Lee Falk and Phil Davis. This unusual strip was the first to feature a magician. Unlike other adventurers, Mandrake used his illusionist skills and his head, rather than his fists. Artist Phil Davis's work is as good as Alex Raymond's from the same period, exhibiting a fine-line brush and beautiful girls as good as the master. I'm very excited to finally have this long-overdue collection of a superior, oft-neglected classic. Titan, 2016. ....More.

STEVE CANYON Volume 7 1959-60Dailies and Sundays. By Milton Caniff. The end of the Fifties and the Sixties start swingin' as Steve Canyon penetrates Communist East Germany on the trail of elusive Minerva Kaol, then crosses paths with Deen Wilderness before crossing swords with old foe Madame Lynx!

We like the image, it's a full-bodied Harley, not the skinny little girl but a well-rounded woman in the best Kotobukiya style, which we have found consistently well done and attractive.
